Anybody out there with any experience with FIFA vs. PES? I have read that FIFA 17 is getting more difficult to play, particularly on defense, and I already have to listen to tantrums from kids who keep getting scored on. My older son wants FIFA 17 because it has Marco Reuss on the cover, his favorite player. But PES is cheaper (at regular price), and if the gameplay is similar or better, should I give it a shot? We have a a PS3, if that makes any difference.

You vs the guy she told you not to worry about.

I don’t know the answer to your actual question :(

When it comes to actual gameplay, PES is better this year but it still can’t match FIFA when it comes to modes. It sounds like FIFA would be the better option since you’ll probably get more hours out of it. Also FIFA 17 on PS3 is missing the new Journey mode.

Wait, PS3? I’m not even sure if those games are available for the PS3.

Modes?

The different ways to play the game. So instead of just playing a friendly game between two teams, you can simulate a full season of play, play as an individual player or partake in the “Skill Games™”, etc.

Missing Journey mode? I know that Sony et al need to sell machines, but I despise the way they compel you to buy a new machine, while making your old games and controllers incompatible.

If that’s the case then go with Fifa. You can’t really go wrong with PES either.

Not trying to rub it in: Journey mode is incredible. If you are thinking of buying a new console, this is the first game I’d buy. In this case, by the way, I don’t think Sony or EA are really trying to compel you to buy a new machine. On my XBox One S, it’s taking up 40 Gigabytes (!!) . My bet is that they just didn’t think that was practical for the PS3.

PES wins cool points because an Italian hip-hop group made a song about it.
